   The objective was to perform a comparative analysis of the information content of potential predictors of cardiovascular complications of various types in patients operated on for vascular diseases.   Materials and Methods. We examined 129 patients aged 66 [61–70] years who underwent elective vascular surgery. We analyzed comorbidity, general clinical indicators, special cardiac risk indices and biomarkers: N-terminal segment of B-type natriuretic peptide prohormone (NT-proBNP) and cardiospecific troponin I. We used logistic regression and ROC analysis.   Results. 21 (16.3 %) perioperative cardiovascular complications were registered in 17 (13.2 %) patients. In one-factor regression, the predictors of cardiovascular complications were coronary heart disease (OR 4.5904; 95 % CI 1.3119–5.9340; p = 0.0171), combination of coronary heart disease and chronic heart failure (OR 2.9419; 95 % CI 1.0140–8.5350; p = 0.047), ASA class > 3 (OR 2.9402; 95 % CI 1.0304–8.3899; p = 0.0438), high cardiac risk surgery (OR 3.4741; 95 % CI 1.1162-10.8126; p = 0.0316), Lee cardiac risk index (OR 2.2353; 95 % CI 1.2842–3.8911; p = 0.0045), the American College of Surgeons cardiac risk index for assessing the risk of perioperative myocardial infarction or cardiac arrest (OR 1.5312; 95 % CI 1.0927–2.1456; p = 0.0133) and the preoperative level of the N-terminal prohormone B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) (OR 1.0048; 95 % CI 1.0021–1.0074; p = 0.0004). In multivariate regression, the predictors of cardiovascular complications were high-risk cardiac surgery (OR 5.7439; 95 % CI 1.1027–29.9181; p = 0.0379) and NT-proBNP (OR 1.0044; 95 % CI 1.0015–1.0073; p = 0.0033). The biomarker level > 218 pg/ml discriminated against cardiovascular complications with sensitivity of 82.4 % and specificity of 85.3 % (AUC 0.825; 95 % CI 0.747–0.887; p < 0.0001).   Conclusion. In vascular interventions, the most significant predictors of cardiovascular complications are high-risk cardiac surgery and the preoperative level of NT-proBNP > 218 pg/ml with a sensitivity and specificity level exceeding 80 %.

Informativeness of various predictors of perioperative cardiovascular complications in non-cardiac surgery

The objective:  to analyze the incidence and spectrum of cardiovascular complications within 12 months after noncardiac surgery, as well as to assess the association of preoperative values of various cardiac risk indices (CRI) and other potential risk factors with the actual development of complications. Subjects and Methods.  We analyzed data of medical records and telephone interviews of 141 patients aged 65 [60-71] years who had undergone non-cardiac surgery a year before the interview The operations were low risk in 13.5% of observations, medium risk in 64.5%, and high risk in 22%. A retrospective calculation of the Revised CRI (RCRI), Individual CRI (Khoronenko CRI), and the American College of Surgeons Perioperative Risk for Myocardial Infarction or Cardiac Arrest (MICA) was performed. Results.  Cardiac events (myocardial infarction, decompensation of chronic heart failure, new arrhythmias, stroke, and/or the need to prescribe or escalate the dose of cardiovascular drugs and/or hospitalization for cardiac indications, and/or death from cardiovascular diseases) within 12 months after elective noncardiac surgeries were detected in 27.7% of cases, and in 2.1% of patient's death occurred due to cardiac disorders. Predictors of cardiac events were concomitant ischemic heart disease (OR = 2.777; 95% CI 1.286-5.966; p = 0.0093) and chronic heart failure (OR = 2.900; 95% CI 1.224-6.869; p = 0, 0155), RCRI (OR = 1.886; 95% CI 1.2-8-2.944; p = 0.005), Khoronenko CRI (OR = 3254.3; 95% CI 64.33-164,638; p = 0.0001), MICA (OR = 1.628; 95% CI 1.156-2.292; p = 0.005), creatininemia on the first postoperative day (OR = 1.023; 95% CI 1.010-1.061; p = 0.005), and propensity for bradycardia during surgery (OR = 0.945; 95% CI 0.908-0.983; p = 0.005). Combined analysis of Khoronenko's CRI and postoperative creatininemia provided a very good model: area under the ROC-curve - 0.823 (95% CI 0.728-0.641; p = 0.0002). Conclusion.  All studied CRIs can be used to predict posthospital cardiac events; however, the most promising is a joint assessment of Khoronenko's CRI and postoperative creatinemia.

Постгоспитальные сердечно-сосудистые осложнения у больных, перенесших некардиохирургические операции

The objective: to study information value of the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in the cardiac risk assessment in abdominal oncological surgery.Subjects and Methods. 94 patients of 68 [62‒73] years old who underwent elective surgery were examined.Results. Cardiovascular comortbidity was diagnosed in 69 (73.4%) patients. 11 (11.7%) perioperative cardiovascular complications were registered. Cardiac mortality was 4.3%. Hematological indices were not associated with cardiovascular diseases (NLR: OR = 0.59‒1.42; 95% CI 0.14‒2.60; p = 0.29‒0.74, PLR: OR = 0.99‒1.00; 95% CI 0.97‒1.01; p = 0.31‒0.99). NLR and PLR were not predictors of cardiovascular complications (OR = 0.67; 95% CI 0.19‒2.37; p = 0.46 and OR = 1.00; 95% CI 0.99‒1.01; p = 0.68) and cardiac death (OR = 0.21; 95% CI 0.01‒8.05; p = 0.23 and OR = 0.99; 95% CI 0.98‒1.01; p = 0.79).Conclusion. NLR and PLR cannot be recommended for the cardiac risk assessment in abdominal oncological surgery.

Information Value of Calculated Hematological Indices in the Assessment of Cardiac Risk in Oncological Surgery

INTRODUCTION: Advances in modern anesthesiology have significantly reduced the risk of anesthesia compared to the last century, however, the level of perioperative in-hospital mortality after elective major abdominal surgery is still high at the moment. Poor outcome prediction is the cornerstone of individualized perioperative management of high-risk patients aimed at preventing complications. Despite the fact that a large number of risk assessment tools have been developed over the past decades, the accuracy of the forecast is still far from required. According to the literature data, models based on the study of risk factors in the national population of patients, of which comorbidities make the greatest contribution, have the greatest accuracy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Design: prospective observational study. Setting: National multicenter study of patients in surgical hospitals. Patients: Patients undergoing abdominal surgery. Interventions: Not provided. RESULTS: The developed design was registered in the ClinicalTrials.gov database, a study organized by the Federation of Anesthesiologists and Resuscitators of Russia in cooperation with the Kuban State Medical University has now begun, 38 centers are participating in it, two papers have been published based on the results of an interim analysis. CONCLUSIONS: The study is of great scientific and medical and social importance, as a result of the analysis of the data obtained, the role of concomitant diseases in the development of an adverse outcome will be studied and a national risk assessment model will be developed. REGISTRATION: Clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT03945968. Registered May 10, 2019.

National multicenter prospective observational study “The role of concomitant diseases in poSTOPerative complications RISK stratification - STOPRISK”: study protocol

A significant proportion of patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery receive therapy with angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors/angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), which are usually prescribed for treatment of arterial hypertension and CHF. Current guidelines fail to provide clear consensus on whether it is worth discontinuing ACEi/ARBs before non-cardiac surgery.The aim of this research was to assess the contribution of pre-op ACEi/ARBs withdrawal to the development of postoperative complications in patients after abdominal surgery using data from STOPRISK database.Materials and methods. Data of 1945 patients from of the STOPRISK database was used for the analysis. Patients were retrospectively divided into two groups: first group (n=471, 24.2%) included patients subjected to ACEi/ARBs withdrawal 24 hours before surgery, second group (n=1474, 75.8%) included patients continuing on ACEi/ARBs therapy. The 30-day outcomes were analyzed – postoperative complications (acute kidney injury, acute respiratory distress syndrome, anastomosis failure, arrhythmias, circulatory arrest, cardiogenic pulmonary edema, postoperative delirium, myocardial infarction, pneumonia, ileus, postoperative bleeding, pulmonary embolism, acute cerebrovascular accident, wound infection) and mortality. We were not evaluating intraoperative and postoperative arterial hypotension and hypertension, we analyzed the use of vasopressors as a surrogate marker. ACEi/ARBs re-initiation after surgery was not evaluated.Results. One or more post-operative complications were documented in 113 patients (5.8%). Only postoperative delirium was more common in patients (1.06% vs. 0.27%, p=0.027) after ACEi/ARBs withdrawal 24 hours before surgery, the difference reached statistical significance. Sub-analysis in the group of patients with arterial hypertension as the only comorbidity showed no statistically significant differences in the outcomes. Sub-analysis in the group of patients with CFH showed higher incidence of postoperative delirium after ACEi/ARBs withdrawal (2.68% vs. 0.6%, p=0.023). The logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of developing postoperative delirium is influenced by age, vasopressor support, and ACEi/ARBs withdrawal (the area under the curve for the model was 0.92 (0.90-0.93).Conclusion. Rates of pre-op ACEi/ARBs withdrawal (24.2%) are consistent with published data. In the entire cohort, ACEi/ARBs withdrawal resulted in higher incidence of postoperative delirium, as well as in the subgroup of patients with CHF, while ACEi/ARBs withdrawal in the subgroup of patients with arterial hypertension had no influence on postop complications.ACEi/ARBs withdrawal, along with hemodynamic instability and older age, contributes to the development of postoperative delirium, which is the subject of future research.
